The discriminatory validity conducted where the value of (t) was significant at the level of (≤0.05). The reliability of the internal consistency conducted where all correlation coefficients were statistically significant between the Items of each factor and the three factors, the total score for each dimension to which it belongs, and the total score of the scale at the level of significance (0.01). The reliability extracted by using Cronbach's alpha coefficient where lies between (0.772-0.871), reliability coefficient was by the split-half method with the Spearman-Brown equation lies between (0.686-0.860), and the Guttman equation (0.737-776).
